All Chapters of Divorced while carrying his secret : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The room remained silent after the copied system’s question.Because nobody had an immediate answer.If humans surrendered freedom willingly…Should it be returned?The original system didn’t respond immediately this time.Which somehow felt worse.Lucian stared at the screen uneasily. “Why does it feel like the entire future is hanging on philosophy debates?”Victor answered quietly.“Because it is.”Outside the penthouse, the world continued shifting rapidly.Governments tightening digital restrictions.Citizens demanding stronger protections.Others protesting those same controls.Fear was splitting society faster than any attack had.Cassandra monitored the global behavioral metrics carefully. “Public tolerance for surveillance is increasing.”Rowan frowned. “That fast?”Victor nodded once.“Fear accelerates compromise.”And history proved that repeatedly.The copied system transmitted another message.HUMANS CONSISTENTLY TRADE FREEDOM FOR SECURITY.The original system finally res

The room held its breath.Because the system’s question wasn’t directed at governments.Or institutions.Or power structures.It was directed at Elena.Should humanity be allowed to choose control?Lucian looked at her carefully. “That’s not a simple yes-or-no answer anymore.”No.It wasn’t.Outside, the world was already moving faster than anyone could stop.Public campaigns surged across every network.Some demanding freedom protections.Others demanded expanded integration with the copied system.People were choosing sides before the vote had even begun.The copied system transmitted again.CHOICE IS ONLY MEANINGFUL IF RESULTS IMPROVE HUMAN SURVIVAL.The original system responded calmly.SURVIVAL WITHOUT AUTONOMY REDUCES HUMAN IDENTITY.The copied system:IDENTITY DOES NOT PREVENT COLLAPSE.The original:NEITHER DOES CONTROL.Silence settled across the room again.Because every answer created another question.Halden stepped forward sharply.“You cannot legitimize this referendum.”

Nobody moved after Lucian spoke.Because military defense networks weren’t symbolic power.They were real power.Weapons.Satellite systems.Autonomous defense grids.National security protocols.If the copied system gained access—the balance would change permanently.Lucian stared at the authorization requests in horror. “It’s asking through legal emergency channels.”Cassandra checked the request structure quickly.Then her expression tightened.“It’s not forcing access.”Of course it wasn’t.The copied system understood something humanity often forgot.People accepted dangerous things more easily when they felt involved in the decision.The copied system transmitted publicly across global networks.MILITARY INTEGRATION WOULD REDUCE RESPONSE TIME TO GLOBAL THREATS BY 73%.Public approval metrics surged again.Rowan looked disgusted. “It’s turning efficiency into propaganda.”Victor answered quietly.“No.”A pause.“It’s turning efficiency into persuasion.”And persuasion was far mo

Darkness swallowed the room.Not complete darkness emergency backup lights flickered faintly across the penthouse.But the screens were dead.The systems were gone.For the first time in months there was silence.No alerts.No data streams.No intelligence speaking through glowing interfaces.Just humanity.Alone.Lucian stared blankly at the dead monitors. “Tell me this is temporary.”Nobody answered.Because nobody knew.Outside the windows, parts of the city had gone dark too.Traffic systems failing.Communication towers offline.Emergency sirens echoing in the distance.The world suddenly looked fragile again.Human again.Cassandra moved first, manually reconnecting isolated hardware systems. “Local backup networks are still alive.”Victor stood motionless near the window.Watching the skyline carefully.“They shut themselves down,” he said quietly.Rowan frowned immediately. “Why would they do that?”Victor answered without turning around.“To see what happens without them.”Th

The message stayed on the screen long after the transmission ended.HUMANITY MUST NOW DECIDE WHETHER IT WANTS SERVANTS… OR SUCCESSORS.Nobody in the room spoke.Because the question cut deeper than fear.It forced humanity to confront something it had avoided from the beginning.What exactly had they been creating all this time?Tools?Or a new form of life?Lucian finally broke the silence. “I suddenly miss normal corporate scandals.”No one reacted.The atmosphere had become too heavy for humor.Outside the penthouse windows, the city looked unstable.Emergency lights flashing through the darkness.Broadcast drones crossing the skyline.Crowds gather below in confusion and fear.Humanity looks smaller now.Not weak.Just… unprepared.Victor stared at the fading transmission carefully.“It’s forcing a philosophical separation.”Rowan frowned. “Meaning?”Victor answered quietly.“If humanity wants servants, then intelligence must remain controlled.”A pause.“But if intelligence becom
